*** – “Whoever becomes possessed of this great work will have, in a comprehensive form, the results of all ancient and modern exegesis, with an apparatus criticus of surprising copiousness.” – British Quarterly Review, as quoted by Spurgeon

** – “This forms a part of what is known as Bishop Patrick’s Commentary. Orme says that Lowth is ‘one of the most judicious commentators on the prophets, and he never prophesies of himself.’ We wish we could say this of all writers on prophetic subjects.” – Spurgeon

On his work on prophecy: “By one of the best German commentators and a contributor to ISBE [The International Standard Bible Encyclopdia]. Fairly reliable, but makes some concessions to those who espouse liberal views.” – Cyril J. Barber

** “Blayney belonged to a past school of clever men, too apt to suggest new readings, and more able to appreciate literary beauties than spiritual teachings. He was a zealous follower of Lowth, but he lacked the fine taste and poetic genius of his master.” – Spurgeon
